In high-risk mining environments, several considerations guide the selection of geomembranes to ensure optimal performance and environmental protection. The geomembrane's chemical resistance is incredibly very important, as it must withstand exposure to aggressive substances commonly found in mining operations such as acids, alkalis, and solvents.
The geomembrane's durability and puncture resistance are critical, especially in areas prone to mechanical stresses or abrasive materials. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is often chosen for its robustness and chemical resistance in such environments. The geomembrane's ability to withstand extreme weather conditions, UV exposure, and temperature fluctuations is also important, as these factors can impact its longevity and performance.
